Abstract
Increased recognition of dissociative symptoms and phenomena in children and adolescents has confronted clinicians with the challenge of differentiating normal from abnormal or pathologic dissociation. Reliable and valid measures of dissociation are increasingly being used both clinically and for research. These data strongly link pathologic dissociation with traumatic antecedents. They also point to family environmental experiences and attachment as important contributors to an individual’s dissociativity. High levels of dissociation are linked with behavioral problems and psychopathology in maltreated children and adults.
